"Uncle Ping, how is the recruitment work going?"

In the town guard mansion of Qingyun Town, Yang Rui sat on the main seat, looked at Yang Ping at the bottom, and asked in a flat tone.

At this time, a week had passed since Yang Rui annihilated the Bohai tribe and captured Qingyun Town.

In the past week, Yang Rui has not been idle, while sending part of the army to maintain order in Qingyun Town, he has erected a recruitment flag in Qingyun Town, recruited new soldiers, and increased the number of troops under his command.

Zhao Kun, the county guard of Sunset County, has officially appointed Yang Rui as a lieutenant, and sent 30,000 military salaries and establishments, Yang Rui does not want to let the establishment be idle, and directly recruits soldiers in Qingyun Town to increase the number of troops under his command.

In addition, Yang Rui also asked a lot of grassland information from the mouth of the Bohai Sea, and was surprised to find that the grassland alien army came out together, although Zhao was caught off guard, captured many counties and towns in Zhao State, and plundered a lot of wealth and population, but because of the sparse population of the grassland alien race and the weak army, under the situation of the main force, the defense of the grassland is extremely weak, as long as it can be killed inside the grassland, it can easily slaughter countless grassland tribes, and seize countless cattle, sheep, war horses and other wealth.

Of course, the grassland aliens are not fools, and they also know that their main forces are out and the rear is empty, so when they attacked Zhao, they captured all the counties and towns bordering the grassland, and sent grassland tribe warriors to garrison to prevent the Zhao army from entering the grassland.

Qingyun Town is just an ordinary town, the reason why there are grassland tribes stationed is entirely because Qingyun Town borders the grassland, otherwise the broad Bohai Sea will loot Qingyun Town and leave, how can it be possible to lead the warriors in the clan to stay in Qingyun Town!

After Yang Rui led his army to capture Qingyun Town, it was equivalent to opening a passage to the grassland, allowing Zhao's army to enter the grassland along this passage and threaten the lair of the grassland aliens.

It was precisely because of this role of Qingyun Town that Zhao Kun, the county guard of Sunset County, was appointed as Yang Rui's lieutenant and gave Yang Rui a staff of 30,000 people.

Zhao Kun's purpose is very simple, that is, he wants Yang Rui to recruit new soldiers, form an army to fight into the grassland, attract the attention of the grassland king, and send the grassland army to attack Qingyun Town and exterminate Yang Rui's troops, so as to reduce the pressure on Sunset City.

Of course, once the Grassland King sent an elite grassland army to attack Qingyun Town and wipe out Yang Rui's troops, the Yang family army and the newly recruited soldiers under Yang Rui's command were likely to be completely annihilated by the grassland army and died tragically on the spot.

However, Zhao Kun didn't care about the death of the army under Yang Rui's command, as long as Yang Rui's army could contain a part of the elite army of the grassland, reduce the pressure on Sunset City, and give Sunset City a chance to fight back. Zhao Kun's goal was achieved.

Yang Rui obviously didn't know the purpose of Zhao Kun, the county guard of Sunset County, for Yang Rui, Qingyun Town, which borders the grassland, is simply an excellent place, which can allow him to easily enter the grassland, hunt the grassland tribes, seize various materials such as cattle, sheep, war horses, etc., and leave meritorious deeds by the way to obtain soul points.

It's just that the number of troops under Yang Rui's command is limited, once they go deep into the grassland, Qingyun Town will have no troops to defend, so Yang Rui will care about recruiting recruits, once the recruits are in place, Yang Rui can let the recruits train in Qingyun Town, and guard Qingyun Town, and then take the elite army under his command into the grassland to hunt.

"Young master, many people in Qingyun Town have relatives who died in the hands of the grassland aliens, and they are very hateful to the grassland aliens, and they are very respectful of the Yang family army who killed the Bohai Broad Sea.

So far, we have recruited more than 15,600 people, and in just a few days of recruitment, we can recruit enough 20,000 people, reaching the number required by the young master!"

Hearing Yang Rui's question, Yang Ping immediately responded loudly.

"More than 15,600 people, enough for the time being! Uncle Ping stayed in Qingyun Town to continue to recruit new recruits and organize recruits for training, while I took the personal guards and 8,000 Yang family troops into the grassland, hunted the grassland tribes, seized cattle, sheep, war horses and other resources, so that our Yang family army could form a powerful cavalry! I will leave the remaining 2,000 Yang family troops to you, assist you in recruiting and training, and be responsible for guarding Qingyun Town!"

Hearing Yang Ping's words, Yang Rui did not hesitate or hesitate at all, and immediately said loudly.

"Yes, young master!"

Hearing Yang Rui's words, feeling the firmness in Yang Rui's tone, Yang Ping nodded lightly and said with a solemn face.

After getting Yang Ping's affirmative answer, Yang Rui waved his hand and let Yang Ping go down.

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Rui left Qingyun Town with his personal guards and 8,000 soldiers of the Yang family's army, and galloped straight in the direction of the grassland.

Qingyun Town borders the grassland, the town is only more than fifty miles away from the grassland, Yang Rui and his party did not take long to enter the grassland, and a thousand Yang family cavalry immediately divided into small teams, galloped forward, and explored the situation ahead.

Soon after, one by one, the Yang family's cavalry squads returned to the Yang family's army headquarters and reported to Yang Rui the intelligence they had explored ahead.

"Let's go, let's go to the nearest steppe tribe first!"

After getting the information about the exploration of the Yang family's cavalry team, Yang Rui waved his hand and led the Yang family's army to gallop straight in the direction of a grassland tribe more than fifty miles to the southeast.

According to the news that the Yang family's cavalry team came back from exploration, the grassland tribe more than 50 miles away in the southeast is not large, only more than 3,000 people, most of them are women, the elderly and children, and there are only more than 100 grassland warriors.

Enemy attack! Enemy attack!

When the 8,000 Yang family army led by Yang Rui was still more than ten miles away from the grassland tribe, it was discovered by the cavalry of the grassland tribe, and at the first time, they issued a terrible alarm.

Immediately afterwards, I saw more than 100 cavalry of the grassland tribe, quickly assembled, more than 1,000 sturdy women and children more than 1 meter tall, also returned home to take out scimitars and bows and arrows, turned over their horses, followed behind more than 100 grassland cavalry, let out angry shouts of killing, and took the initiative to meet more than 8,000 Yang family troops.

Among the grassland alien races, all the people are soldiers, extremely warlike, even women and children, they also have a strong physique, not weak combat effectiveness, plus superb riding skills, with the fourth-order black-scaled horse, the combat effectiveness is extremely not weak, and it can easily kill the fourth-order warriors.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Looking at the more than 8,000 Yang family troops not far away, more than 100 grassland cavalry and more than 1,000 grassland women and children, they all let out angry shouts of killing, and took out the arrows behind them, put them on the bow and arrows, pulled the bow like a full moon, and poured sharp arrows towards the Yang family's army.

Whoosh! Whoosh

In the crisp sound of breaking the air, sharp arrows slashed through the void like lightning, fell into the camp of the Yang family, and shot on the body of a famous Yang family, making a crisp sound of metal collision, leaving a little white mark on the steel armor of the Yang family's soldiers, and it fell to the ground.

"Steel armor!"

"This army is all equipped with steel armor!"

"Kill them all! their steel armor is ours!"

“、、、、”

Seeing that the arrows were blocked by the steel armor of the soldiers of the Yang family, the expressions of more than a hundred grassland cavalrymen first changed, and then a look of surprise and greed flashed in their eyes, and with a roar, they urged the war horses under them to take the lead in charging in the direction where the Yang family army was, wanting to kill the Yang family army and seize the steel armor on the Yang family army.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Looking at the grassland cavalry approaching quickly, Yang Rui's expression remained unchanged, and he waved his hand and ordered loudly.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a series of sharp crossbow arrows, shot out from the Yang family's army, lightning across the void, forming a dense rain of arrows, easily piercing a famous grassland cavalry who was charging forward, shooting it into a hedgehog, making its blood splash, and falling to the ground together with the war horse under him, becoming a broken corpse.

In a matter of moments, more than 100 grassland cavalry were killed and wounded, which made the expressions of more than 1,000 grassland women and children in the rear change greatly, a look of horror flashed in their eyes, and they hurriedly pulled the horse rope and asked the war horses under them to stop charging, so as not to be shot into hedgehogs by the crossbow arrows of the Yang family.

"Kill them all!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Rui's expression remained unchanged, and with a wave of his hand, a thousand Yang family cavalry immediately urged the war horses under him to charge at more than a thousand grassland women and children.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

In the face of the charge of the Yang family's cavalry, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of more than a thousand grassland women and children, and they immediately urged the war horses under them to take the initiative to meet the Yang family's cavalry.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the crisp sound of breaking the air, when the Yang family cavalry was still more than 200 meters away from the grassland women and children, they took out their crossbows one after another, aimed at the grassland women and children on the war horses, pulled the trigger, and shot sharp arrows at the bodies of a grassland women and children.

Bang! Bang!

In the crisp sound, a grassland woman and child was shot through the body by a crossbow arrow, and fell to the ground weakly, letting out a terrible wail, becoming a cold corpse.

Soon, more than 1,000 cavalry of the Yang family approached the side of the remnants of the grassland women and children, and the steel long knives in their hands waved out, with a sharp and incomparably sharp edge, easily cutting a grassland woman and child into two, causing blood to splash and die on the spot.

The cavalry of the Yang family are all the elite of the Yang family's army, and at least they have elite soldiers with the peak cultivation of the fourth order, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

In a matter of moments, more than 1,000 grassland women and children were slaughtered by the Yang cavalry, and more than 1,000 black-scaled horses were collected by the Yang cavalry and became the trophies of the Yang army.

Looking at the corpses of women and children on the grassland, Yang Rui did not feel the slightest discomfort.

Every time the steppe aliens attacked the border of Zhao, tens of millions of Zhao people would die tragically, and most of them were innocent civilians, not soldiers of Zhao.

For the grassland aliens, Yang Rui did not have the slightest pity.

For Yang Rui, only the dead grassland alien race is a good grassland alien race.

With a wave of his mind, Yang Rui waved his hand and led the Yang family army straight to the direction of the grassland tribe's lair.
